I know about that and equally prefers that system to this our own.
Theirs is like the league system where you play against each other and the first- six in the table will qualify.
Ours has preliminary stage. After topping your group you'll still have to go for playoff.... Not straight forward.
Africa is 3 stage before qualification

just help our life n gv us mali or dr congo...
teams like cameroon n ghana ould be hard and can be determined by where the first leg will be played, I pray naija plays away first...get at least a draw n finish work at home...
Mk dm jus pity for us n free dt Egypt bcoz dose guys no get joy n dm go beat dis eagles both home n away...dt sallah winning goal for kano dt year wey stop us from qualifying still fresh for my mind..

Egypt is overrated. I didn't feel them throughout the qualifiers so far. Their standards have seriously dropped, but can we exploit that?

DR Congo is underrated. Mali too is underrated. These teams have some of the most compact defenses in Africa, and they are highly physical. Playing them will be hard because they do a lot of running and shoving, and our boys are damn too lazy, in my opinion. Moreover, we don't have the defense and goalkeeper to contain a Malian usual early assault. Remember 2013 AFCON which we won. For the first 20 minutes, Mali bombarded our defense, but Enyeama and co absorbed the pressure, and survived.

Ghana is an old bitter rival which always makes a match with Ghana a no-no for Eagles because it is always a do-or-die affair for Ghana, and our present crops of players don't seem to have their hearts in the game when they play for Nigeria.

Cameroon is also an old bitter rival. So, a match with Cameroon is always full of pressure, and always difficult.

We can't beat any of this teams for now make we no fool ourselves....we have a decent squad but we don't have the kinda pattern and football to win tough games....at a point our center backs had to even go long severally yesterday cos we can't link up passes to break the opponents press ....we need tutor and coach NT an instructor like Rohr...so pathetic!!?

If we are scared of facing any of these teams then wetin we dey find for world cup?

Abi oo! It was by stroke of luck we escaped an outright defeat by the Cape Verdians yesterday. Each time they were in Super Eagles territory, one would almost lose his breath. The goal the visitors scored even was preventable. As far as I'm concerned, Nigeria has no defense as at now. Those guys will keep committing blunders wen faced with a top opposition. The attack line is largely uncoordinated same with the midfield

They have a superior head to head against nigeria

Waaw I didn't know that.... I made my analysis based on relative strength index of games played so far..

And the side we can make headway against despite our not so good form.

Ghana will be tough because it's beyond football, it's a historical thing, it's a cultural thing also..

Cameroon also follows the path of Ghana in terms of history and culture.

North Africans have this superiority complex over most of africa, thus the reason they never want to loose against teams outside north africa.

All the bottom 5 will like to play Nigeria because they know Nigeria is patternless
Who said they don't have pattern??

To be honest they do (the coach has obviously worked on a system) ... what they lack are the players to fit that pattern/system and sometimes it bothers me.

Rohr has a holdplay/link up play system for the main striker, however the only striker capable of that is Ighalo and he is old stock, now linkup play is not his Sharpest striker's (Oshimen) strong point.

Secondly he favours a Sweeper Keeper, but Okoye is a Jack of all trades and master of none (he needs to Condition Okoye to just one role so he can get good at it now its early) Okoye is a ball playing keeper, Sweeper Keeper and traditional defence Keeper, however that makes him all over the place and gives room for cheap errors.

Thirdly he has a defence department that I don't understand one bit, all the defenders have different patterns such that a simple defence substitution can change the entire back line behaviour. Defenders need to be similar especially Center Backs. For example if Leon Balogun (who is more adventurous and progresses the line) is substituted for Omeruo (Omeruo is more of a static defender, he doesn't progress the line) now that's a problem if you face a team with very pacy strikers, they are less likely to go offside. Is there no way someone can convince Fikayo Tomori of AC Milan to just wear green??

Fourth I really don't understand why they keep playing Musa, when some very pacy wingers want to prove themselves, for example if Ejuke is given at least 60mins game time I am very sure he will prove his ability because that guy is dying to impress.

Fifth where is Chukwueze?? Where is that genius for Okra's sake??

Bottom line Rohr has a system let's give him that credit, but he puts his faith on very funny players.

Because there are 10 groups from which 10 teams qualified but we only have 5 slots assigned to AFRICA in the worldcup. So we need to reduce the number of teams by half.

From next world cup we will graduate to 6 teams from Africa until then chose the team you want us to meet
Ok... Then i say congo final answer. Lol

Despite your criticisms, Rohr has actually proven to be a master when it comes to qualifying for major tournaments. The other nations will be scared of Nigeria. I see us qualifying as usual under Rohr.

The way Cape verde were strong after defeating us at our own backyard undecided

Let us see how they perform at AFCON 2021 starting in January 2022.

But with what they have played so far, I doubt we can beat any of the bottom 5, even at home.



It's been a below-par performance
No pattern of play
